PTL Beverages Network Project - COMP.7201 Large Network Technologies

This project details the design and implementation of a large network for PTL Beverages, a New Zealand company specializing in beverages and food products with two sites in Tauranga and Rotorua. The project addresses the company's need to computerize its functions to accommodate anticipated growth. The project covers cabling and hardware setup for PCs, servers, switches, and routers, including IP address configurations. It also includes DNS setup, DHCP design with failover considerations, Active Directory design, and home drive setup. Furthermore, the project discusses joining networks, resource sharing, and network security measures. The document provides a comprehensive overview of the network infrastructure designed to improve the company's operational efficiency and scalability. Desklib provides students access to a wide range of similar solved assignments and past papers.

2 Introduction
This project aims to create the large network for PTL Beverages. The PTL beverage is a
New Zealand company for manufacturing the beverages and food products. This company has
the two sites like Tauranga and Rotorua. More than 100 staff members are currently working on
both sites. This company is divided into two groups like operations and corporate. The PTL
beverages management was anticipating the large growth in production over the next five years.
So, it would like to computerize the most of their function to ease the handling of the business
routines. So, it needs to design and implement the company infrastructure to provide the
effective performance. The current IT infrastructure of PTL beverages has 8 professionals and 80
windows standalone computers and 15 printers at both sites and those sites are having the
internet connectivity. But, it does not provide the effective internet connection. So, the PTL
beverages company is wishes to network all their computers, printers and creating the intranet.
The creation of intranet needs to purchase the software and hardware and it is needs to envision.
But, the company has the sufficient budget for this purpose. So, these issues are address and
create the new network infrastructure for a company. These are will be analyzed and discussed in
detail. The hardware and Cabling setup for proposed network Infrastructure will be discussed.
The DHCP, active directory and DNS setup and design also will be analyzed and discussed in
detail. Network security and resource sharing for proposed network infrastructure also will be
discussed and analyzed in detail.
